Modelling spatio-temporal trends of air pollution in Africa. (arXiv:2208.12719v1 [physics.ao-ph])

Atmospheric pollution remains one of the major public health threat worldwide
with an estimated 7 millions deaths annually. In Africa, rapid urbanization and
poor transport infrastructure are worsening the problem. In this paper, we have
analysed spatio-temporal variations of PM2.5 across different geographical
regions in Africa. The West African region remains the most affected by the
high levels of pollution with a daily average of 40.856 $\mu g/m^3$ in some
cities like Lagos, Abuja and Bamako. In East Africa, Uganda …
